15 ft Cat6a Shielded Patch Cable

This 15 ft Cat6a shielded patch cable uses 26 AWG stranded copper conductors and aluminum-polyester foil shielding to deliver 10 Gbps Ethernet connections up to 500 MHz. Snagless RJ45 connectors with 50-micron gold contacts resist damage during repeated insertion. The PVC jacket carries a CMG fire rating for general-purpose indoor runs.

Replacing unshielded Cat5e or Cat6 links

Swapping an unshielded Cat5e or Cat6 cable for this Cat6a shielded cord removes a common bottleneck when 10 Gigabit hardware is already installed. The upgrade is worthwhile in environments with fluorescent lighting, power cables or dense cable bundles where EMI and RFI degrade throughput. It also supports 100 W PoE for cameras, access points and VoIP phones.

Sustained 10 Gbps throughput under load

Foil shielding and 100 percent copper conductors keep signal-to-noise ratio stable during continuous 10 Gbps transfers, preventing the error spikes that unshielded cables exhibit over 15 ft. ETL verification to ANSI/TIA-568-D Category 6 requirements confirms consistent performance across the full 500 MHz bandwidth. The stranded construction tolerates repeated flexing without conductor fatigue.

Questions about this item

Will the 15 ft length and RJ45 connectors fit my patch panel and switch ports?

The cable is 15 ft long with RJ45 connectors on both ends, sized for standard keystone jacks and switch ports in racks or wall plates.

How do I install the snagless RJ45 plugs without damaging the latch tabs?

Press the snagless boot down while inserting the plug until you hear a click; releasing the boot locks the latch without snagging adjacent cables.

When should I replace this shielded Cat6a cable to keep 10 Gbps performance?

Replace it if the PVC jacket shows cuts, the foil shield is kinked, or the gold contacts become corroded — any of which can degrade the 500 MHz signal.
